Egypt Flights

The majority of British holidaymakers fly to Sharm El Sheikh, far and away the most popular resort on the Red Sea Riviera.

You can fly from the main London airports as well as Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh. Tour operators like Thomas Cook lay on flights from small regional airports like Cardiff, Newcastle and Bournemouth. The widest choice of departure airport is found in the summer months. Flight time from the UK is around 5 hours, depending on your departure point. Flights are available all year round thanks to the superb sunny climate. The best deals are usually found outside the main school holidays.
